Chapter 538
Charlie paused before he opened the car door and turned around.
He saw two women. One was much older than him, and the other looked like a newly graduated
college student. He frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
They looked at each other, and Connie said first, "Mr. Hogg, we are employees of the supany
and in the same department with Wendy!"
"What''s the matter?" Charlie raised his eyebrows.
He joined their gathering this time only because of Wendy. Other than subsidiaries'' leaders who
could have the chance to talk to him, he barely paid attention to other employees. Many female
workers would rush to the washroom to reapply their makeup upon knowing his sudden arrival, but
he did not bother to throw a nce at any one of them, even out of the corner of his eyes.
Bonnie pulled the reckless Connie back, nodded a greeting, and said respectfully, "Mr. Hogg, as
employees, we all thank you for your generous dinner tonight, and then we have something to say
to you!"
Hearing that they were Wendy''s colleagues, Charlie remembered that they seemed to have been
sitting next to Wendy during the dinner. Thus, he was a little more patient with them. He put his
hands in his pockets and said, "Go ahead."
"Then we''ll go straight to the point, Mr. Hogg!" Bonnie paused for a moment before she heaved a
deep sigh of relief and said, "During the meal, both of us saw you pull Wendy into a private box!"
"Oh?!" Charlie was surprised.
It had never urred to him that anyone would see them. Before he pulled Wendy into the box, he
looked around and was sure that no one else but only two waiters serving the dishes was in the
corridor. He didn''t see them because they followed him there had been hiding at the corner all
along.
"Yes, we saw you!" After all, Connie was young, so she couldn''t help but say, "We saw you not only
this time but also thest time when you came to a meeting. I saw you drag Wendy into the
washroom! Mr. Hogg, do you know she is pregnant?"
"Uhm." Charlie gave a vague reply.
He did not deny it! Bonnie and Connie exchanged a knowing look-they seemed to have guessed it
right.
Bonnie, who was older, chose her words with great care. "Besides that, she has a fiance. They get
along well and are about to settle down!"
"After your lecture at our university, I regarded you as my idol. But still, Mr. Hogg, I have to say that
you''re wrong to do this!" Connie, like a student arguing something serious with her teacher, looked
more serious than when she was working in the office. "I can prove that what Wendy said was true.
She has a very good rtionship with her finance! You must have seen the diamond ring on her
hand that her fiance gave her. She wears the ring every day and never gets it off his finger! Besides,
her fiance is from a decent family and is very handsome. He''s not worse than you!"
Hearing this, Charlie raised his eyebrows high and said, "Have you seen each other before?"
Being asked like this, Connie felt a little guilty but soon calmed down, "No, but she has talked with
us about him many times, so we are all clear what he is like-He is 1.86 meters tall with a good
figure, hooded eyes, a prominent nose. I have asked her how her finance was whenpared with
you. She answered earnestly that he was as handsome as him!"Text content ? N?velDrama.Org.
The more she talked, the more she felt that Wendy''s finance was much like Mr. Hogg in front of her,
but she didn''t give it a second thought.
"She said that they had been looking forward to having a child for a long time. Her fiance loves him
very much and is very good to her. The most important thing is that she loves him very much, very
much!" Connie deliberately emphasized "very much" a few more times.
"What else did she say?" Not in a hurry, Charlie continued to ask, enjoying listening to her opinion
about him.
In the shades of night, he stood there casually, his hands in his pockets. He didn''t look annoyed at
all. There was even a faint smile on his face — he was secretly pleased. People love praise, and he
was no exception. Charlie was all ears at this time.
"Wendy also said that she was very lucky to meet her fiance!" Bonnie honestly reported what
Wendy had told her.
Connie added with a very righteous tone, "Her eyes lit up whenever she mentioned her fiance! So,
Mr. Hogg, I''m afraid that you have no chance to be with her. Please let Wendy go and stop
pestering her. You can''t force her to ept you by using your power in ourpany. There are so
many women adoring you, but Wendy is soon going to marry her fiance and get the marriage
certificate!"
"Right, Mr. Hogg. As the saying goes, wrecking one marriage is worse than knocking down ten
temples!" Bonnie echoed, nodding.
Charlie''s delicate lips twitched, but he could not helpughing out.
A burst of low and deepughter came from his chest. He said in a low voice, "I should thank you
two."
What?
Bonnie and Connie were
all struck dumb with amazement.
Both of them were here to criticize him, but to their surprise, he didn''t fly into a rage out of
humiliation but instead wanted to thank them!
Connie, scratching her head in confusion, asked, "Why?"
"Her fiance is right before you now," Charlie said, amused.
Connie and Bonnie exchanged a look again, but they were at a loss.
A few secondster, when they finally understood what he meant, they widened their eyes wide in
great surprise.
Charlie raised his eyes, looked at the personing towards them but turning back hurriedly, and
shouted.
"Wendy,e here!"
Wendy, who was stopped by him, had no choice but to turn back.
Charlie would avoid others when taking her to and from work. So, when today''s dinner was over,
she didn''te out until most of them were gone.
However, she didn''t expect to see two colleagues standing in front of him, so she walked away o
avoid them.
Under their gazes, Wendy bit her lip with embarrassment and asked, "How did you..."
Charlie grabbed her hand, giving her no chance to escape. He smiled and said helplessly, "If I don''t
prove my innocence, they will mistake me for a despicable man."
"Uh..." Wendy was stunned.
He addressed her as "Lil Wendy," an intimate call. Beyond that, their fingers entwined tightly
together, leaving no gaps in between-they must have done it countless times in private.
Connie and Bonnie, standing close to them, could see the gentleness in Charlie''s usually cold eyes
and Wendy''s blushing face.
Connie, still in shock, asked, "Sister Wendy, is he your fiance?"
"Is that true?" Bonnie asked, slowly.
They asked almost at the same time, wondering the same thing.
"Yes..." Since their rtionship had been exposed, Wendy nodded and admitted it.
Hearing that, Connie was too shocked to stand still. She leaned against Bonnie and eximed in a
low voice, "Bonnie, help me up quickly. I''m a little dizzy!"
